It is always frustrating to see how much weight I gained, whenI went off the diet - primarily because I was sick and thenreacting very badly to prednisone. Ah well, I can be grumpyabout it - but the real trick is getting started again. I did thatyesterday - a week later than planned - but I'm still coughing andhaven't felt 100% well since early November, so understandable. It'shard to have the spoons to get focused and diet again when everythingfeels hard. I did keep dieting until I was concerned that I wasn'tgetting better and my body was clearly asking for more food; turns outthat didn't help - but I still understand the decision. Here's hopingthat I can lose the weight I gained quickly and get down to 240 in areasonable amount of time.
